Syrian toddler loses entire family after Russian airstrike in Idlib
A Syrian toddler lost
her entire family after a Russian airstrike hit their home in the
rebel-held Idlib
province,
a civilian rescue group has said. Khadija al-Hamdan,
aged just two, was pulled out of the rubble by the Syrian Civil Defence,
also known as the White Helmets. Her
mother, father and two siblings were killed in the assault.

bodies from the hospital. We buried them.” The Syrian government
